TEXAS INDUSTRIAL NSTES
Coraicaoa—The looal Commercial
Club bas'planned an exhibit of farm
produote and a stock show to be
conducted here September 26th and
27th. A premium list will be ar-
ranged and several hundred dollars
in prises distributed.
Hereford—Crop conditions on ir-
rigated farms near this place are
excellent. Maize, Kaffir corn, and
other feed orops promise bountiful
yields and a considerable amount of
tnese products are being used for
ensilage.
Palestine—The drouth in this
section has affected the ootton crop
to the extent that the total produc-
tion will be only 80 per cent of last
years yield according to local ex-
perts.
Galveston—Citizens of Galveston
County will vote September gQtb do
the issuance of $260,000 for good
roads. With the expenditure of
this amount Gahrestqn countv .will
have one of tbe best highway sys-
tems in the s^ate.
Condbo—The Atlanta, Georgia
Polo Club recently purchased twen-
ty-two Concho County ppoies and
had them trained here by ft. S.
Waring, a veteran poioist. The
Atlanta enthusiasts say ths Texas
fered to the market daily?” The
explanation was, that there are
times when, for some reason or
other, the farmers will rush more
meat on the market than is needed,
as in the Fall, when cattle are fat
and the farmer dobs not wish to
carry them in the winter. If this
should be permitted .there would
surely follow a scarcity of meat
later, and consequently a rise in
prices, as meats would have to be
imported, for the German farmers
produce a little oyer irmoty-five per
oept of the food products of Ger-
many. The purpose of the city is
to see to it that German meats shall
go as far as possible and that prices
be kept uniform.
London does nothing of this uind.
FOOD SPECULATION PRO-
HIBITED.
The German government prohib-
its speculating in food products. It
goes upon the theory that the spec-
ulator either boosts or depresses

CITY MARKET PLAN OF BERLIN CRM-
FARED WITH LONDON SYSTEM
(ByS.A. Lindsey.)
Lucerne, Switzerland, August
14th—I went to Southern Italy and
I" to Sicily where vegetables, oitrus
R and other fruits are grown, hoping
to learn something as to the mar-
keting of these products that would
be of value to those people of Texas
who are engaged in the growing of
perishable produots. I was disap-
pointed, for the people of these two
sections seemed never to have bad
the problem of marketing perishable
farm products up for solution.
The territory of Europe adapted
to the production of fruits and vege-
tables Is so restricted and that un-
suited to large production, that
buyers come from Northern Europe
to the groves and fields of Italy and
Sicily and purchase their products
before they are gathered. I learn-
ed the California growers are re-
garded as invincible in their meth-
ods, for they have driven the Eu-
g! ropean oranges and lemons practi-
-'i cally out of the Ameriosn markets,
and are introducing California wines
into Europe in competition with the
wines of Italy, France and Spain. I
think the methods of California
growers are the ones for our people
to study. 1 will now describe the
marketing methods in Germany and
England, giving a study of the food
markets of Berlin as au example of
the one, and of Loudon, as an ex-
ample of the other.

_ Summit Point, W. Va.—Mrs. Anna
Belle Emev, of this place, says: “I suf-
fered for 15 yean with an awful pain in
iny right side, caused from womanly
(rouble, and doctored lots for it, but with-
out success. I suffered so very much,
that I became down in mind, and as help-
less as a baby. I was in the worst kind
of shape. Was unable to do any work.
I began taking Cardul, the woman’s
tonic, and got relief from the very fint
dose.* By the time I had taken 12 bot-
tles, my health was completely restored.
I am now 48 yean yean old, out ieel as
goodas 1 did when only 16.
Cardui certainly saved me from losing
my mind, and I feel it my duty to speak
in its favor. I wish I had some power
oyer poor, suffering women, and could
make them know the good it would do
them." /
If you suffer from any of the ailments

THE Y.P.».
Mrs. MaGee and Miss Oara Garrett
entertained the Y’s at the home of
Mrs. MaGee, September fourth.
The meeting was called to order by
the president.
Minutes of the previous meeting
reed and approved.
Twenty three members responded
to the roll call.
A verbal report was given by Mr.
Wm. Teal, the chairman of oar olvio
club.
Comments by different members af-
ter which the report was accepted.
As a vice-president had not yet been
ohosen from the Lutheran church, wo
elected Marvin Wlokham aa vioe-
president.
It waa suggested by Mrs. Wheeler
Phillips that the President should ap-
point a flower committee before our
next meeting. The duty of the com-
mittee Is to carry flower* to the sick.
Carrie Cox, Joaephine Burkett,
Marjorie Baxter, Carlton Crawford
and Ira Oox were appointed by the
prices; if he boosts, the
is hurt, and if he depresses them,
the producer suffers. So the govern*
meat has enacted laws prohibit: ug
dealing in futures of food products,
such as meat and wheat, and pro-
viding a limit of time which fool
stuffs may be kept in cold etcroge.
The City of Berlin regulates the
cold- storage plants in that city.
Everything wnich goes in cold stor-
age is booked in a manner shewing
the date it is entered and is taken
out, and the city sees to it that the
the stuff isjiot kept in cold storage
looger than the time allowed by
law. Meat is allowed to remain
three months. Butter four mouths
and eggs six months. These limits
are fixed because experts have de-
termined that meat, butter and eggs
begin to lose their food values at
the end of three, four and six months
more than 60 yean, and will help you,
too.

male, besides fowls. Acres of
bnildings are required to provide
stalls enough to expose a)i these
meats for sale. The bulk-of vege-
tables and fruits ate even larger
than the bulk of meats sold daily
and more space is required for these.
Then there is the milk market, the
butter and the egg markets and fish
markets. I am speaking here of
wholesale markets.
The city of Berlin, being about
halt the size ofXoudon, baa mar-
kets about half as large. The food
products in both Berlin and London
are sold at wholesale on commis-
sion, the commission being 31-2
per cent in case of meats and 7 per
cent in case of vegetable* and fruits;
eggs, butter and cheese take same
commission as meats. In the Berlin
markets all the farm product* are
from the German farmer, because a
tariff protects and preserve* the
German markets to the formers of
that empire.
fa the markets of England one
sees no Eogliab farm products, but
there are meats from Argentine,
Australia, New Zealand; fowla and
eggs from Russia and Holland, and
large stalls ot meat, I suppose from
America, as these stall* are occu-
pied by our big meat paokera. In
Berlin the whole sale ia virtually
made by the producers, as the or-
ganized farmers sell, moat alwaya
through their own agents. (Hence
the German farmer receives all bia
produce brings, except the eoat of
transportation and tbs commission.
CITY OF BERLIN OWNS
STALLS.
At the wholesale oity market the
products pass into the £ands of the
hundreds o( retail dealers. In Ber-
lin all theee dealers rent slaile an J
traneaot business in the elty’a re-
tail market plaees. In London,
many of them do, but many dealers
carry on butineaa in privately own-
ed building! eoattered about the
eity, while otbere are merely huck-
ster* selling from wagon.
Now note the difference in the
■yateme.
Io Berlio the oity owns au abba-
tolr or slaughtering plaoe. All ani-
mal* kjlled for the Berlin market
must be slaughtered there, by the
permieeion of tbe food authoritiea.
Iu this way the City la not only able
to koow the kind aod condition of
animals offered for sale, but Is also
enabled to prescribe tbe number to
. be killed daily.
FARM FACTS
(By Peter Radford, Farmers’ Union.)
We esn develoD ourselves only by
onr own efforts.
Go to the farm and enjoy the bless-
ings n( freedom.
The farmer knows better than to
exchange magic for oommon sense.
Tbe problem* of farming are ae
serious ae the multiplication table.
The greatest factor behind all pro-
dnotlon is the creative faoulty.
Tbe farmer can only- be helped
through oommon sense and eo ‘opera-
tion.
Successful farming and marketing
are the basis of all human progress.
The men who till the soil and breed
the herds are the choaen people of
God.
In farming every man pulls aooord-
lug to his ability and no man rides en
the load.
Get tbe difficulties out of the farm-
ers way and the farmers problem*
will solve themselves.
The inoreaae In price* of farm pro-
ducts has not kept pace with the in-
creased cost of living.
The farmer can produoe without or-
ganisation bat to successfully market
he must unite with his neighbor.
The farmer Is the directing head
and operating bands of his businees.
He combine*, directs and carries all
responsibilities.
No former should put up a "no help
wanted" sign but be should be par-
ticular In ehooelng his help, both
manual and 00 operative.
The farmer cannot be helped until
he organises and the government oan-
not help the farmer exoept through
organisation.
The farmer sells at prlees fixed in
free trade markets and buys every-
thing be wean and uses in a high
protective market.
Ths value of farm crop* is deter-
mined not only by the amount of labor
necessary to produoe them but by
having them on the market when
needed.
A great many people appear to
bejleve that beoanse a farmer polls
off hi* ooat when he thinks that ha la
not capable of undentandlng his
problems. _
